| "ana" is a term for "anorexia" i do believe. it's about daniel when he had anorexia :\ "in my head the flesh seems thicker" like when people who have anorexia get too thin & they still see themselves as being overweight. anyways, this song is very wonderful & beautiful in a dark kind of way. i think it captures feelings really well. | |

| Daniel Johns went through a period of time in which he was suffering from anorexia. That's what this song is about, plan and simple. Ana = anorexia. It's an obvious meaning, and it's been pointed out by Daniel Johns himself in many interviews. Sometimes I think people try to hard to find meaning in something that they over look what's obvious. | |

| zero36 is right. it's about daniel (lead singer) and his trouble surviving life with anorexia. if you read the words, it's amazing the metaphors and meanings he puts into it. And you're my obsession I love you to the bones And ana wrecks your life Like an anorexia life | |

| I wish Silverchair would have produced an acoustic version of this song. This is one of those songs that everyone knows about and bruns lighters at the concert due to the wonderful lyrical element and passion in this song. Expression of pain is the key to survival, and in that case, he will survive forever. Listen and Feel. | |
